Sometimes I find car shows and sometimes they find me, the latter happened on September 5th when I stumbled across the 20th Annual Kirkfield Car show and Parade while camping with my girlfriend. She just got a Cannon 50D so I got to relax while someone else took the pictures this time around. A vacation indeed.
Accessories,stickers, grills, and emblems
I saw one of these before and thought it was real, not this timeDeuces are wildThe best thing about high school girls...A lot of blood went into this carI wonder if any A&Ws still do window side service.Child's play!Coolest shifter everNorth American madeLet's see someone suck the chrome of this bumperLil Wayne's got nothing on this grill...This is a lot of metal
Trucks
Someones little red wagon, I would have chose different wheels and a drop thoughRed and chrome shine nice on a summers dayOld trucks like these make great promotional vehiclesI wonder if this is a fleet vehicle from when they started outThis trike started its life out as an 86 s-10 a long, long, time agoThis dad gets to have nice toysFlat Black paint hides a serious drive lineThis old Ford F-1 was rocking some nice stance, a new set of wheels could really set it offNow this is a clean, mean, raked stanceI saw this truck driving two weeks ago so it was a treat to see again it up closeI think this Fink styled ride also started off as an s10Big Daddy Roth would be proudHands down my favorite truck from the show everything is done so subtle but it works together so well
Land Yachts and Boulevard Cruisers
Some of these classics are just huge, and some were just meant to cruise up and down the Boulevard windows down on a hot summers day.
This car is at least 1.5 the length of my car maybe twoWhile the paint is a bit over the top for me the stance is rightThis car reminds me of the musical Grease for some reasonThe pinstripe and chrome really enhance the blue paint on this old CadillacNow thatDriving Miss DaisyI wonder if she stays with him for the carContinental kits are a great spot for murals
Stangs
Well at least the colors matchI've never seen 2pc BBS wheels on a Stang before actually looks pretty good
Hot Rods
Carls teal 37 sittin just right on American Racing RimsThis coupe is sitting down in the weeds right where it belongsCherry red metallicFord couples love orange paintThis is how you do flat black, red, and white walls properly, take notes.Highschool sweetheart
Muscle
I wonder that it is like to drag traction bar?The ever popular Camaro RSGreen paint chrome torque thrustsNotice anything strange? The Intercooler perhaps?The GNX motor swapped into this Camaro puts out 750hp
Racers
A Few race cars showed up to this show, I assume the racers got trailer-ed in but it was a small town.

The Cadillac
Cadillac Northstar v8 motors have been turning up in the weirdest places lately, first that Chevy Cavalier from Scrape By The Lake and now this 53 or so Eldorado Convertible. After my “Holy Shit” reaction the owner showed interest in me and we conversed for awhile about the car.
He told me that he got this car for a steal because the swap wasn’t running and all it needed was a sensor replaced to work with the engine harness used during the swap.
He also went on to tell me that he had it appraised at 150 grand and that it was for sale so he could redo his other ride, Orange Crush, I really wish I could afford this unique Caddy.
